If you’ve been following my posts, you’ve been hearing about the 5 kinds of money (savings, debt, income, income goals and toxic) and the 3 aspects of each type of money:
1) Programmed beliefs and habitual thoughts
2) Emotions running through the nervous system
3) Traumas
How does all of this affect us with our money? Ask yourself, ‘how do I really feel about money’ because our feelings power our actions. Feelings come before logic, practicality and great ideas! Our emotions lead to what we do or don’t do. Our memories, beliefs and programming about money create strong feelings that drive every action we take. They also motivate us to avoid taking actions that involve increasing our income and savings and lowering our debt.
This is why no matter how much we say we WANT a larger income and more savings and no debt, if we have memories, beliefs and programming from before we were 6 years old, it isn’t going to happen.
Try this quick exercise to test your money emotions:
Write down your current income on a blank piece of paper. Focus on that number and say it out loud. You may already be feeling uncomfortable here. Now look at the number and say out loud, “It isn’t enough.” How true does that statement feel to you? Does it create an intense feeling in your body? Write down those feelings and measure them on a scale of 1-10. One is being calm and 10 represents the most intense and uncomfortable emotion. Some of the feelings that often come up are: anxiety, anger, sadness, and frustration. And these negative emotions all contribute to the problem of not having enough income.

How does “It Isn’t Enough” feel to you?
